Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses a technique called arthroscopic supracapsular reconstruction (SCR) utilizing push-in glenoid anchor fixation. He explains that this technique has been successfully used for patients with massive rotator cuff tears and provides improvements in pain, range of motion, and shoulder function. The speaker also shares their own experience with this technique, including failures and lessons learned. The procedure involves using anchors and suture tapes for graft fixation on the glenoid and humeral sides. The speaker emphasizes the importance of patient selection, accurate rotator cuff repair, and proper graft tensioning. The speaker concludes by stating that this technique is efficient and reproducible with operative times typically under one hour. No credits were mentioned in the video.
